I usually order from the Thai place on Stark but they weren't answering their phone. I found this place instead and I was able to order from them on their website which is really convenient. I was able to customize what I wanted and it was easy to pay and add a tip. I was given an estimated time and the food was actually ready at the time I was given. I wanted to try their pad Thai woo sen with the glass noodles and it was really good, the sauce was tasty and the noodles were soft and tender. I got spice level 2 and it was kind of spicy but still very good. I usually love spicy foods so I'm glad I stayed with level 2, level 3 might have been too much for me . The chicken was a little chewy but that was ok. We also got the chicken satay and it was very juicy. My son got the Pad ka pao and he liked it a lot. I was really happy at trying this other variation of pad Thai noodles and it was delicious. We will definitely be coming back soon. read more

If I could give zero I would. I'm home recovering after physical therapy -(too worn out to make dinner). Currently homebound and pretty immobile. I ordered drunken noodles (buy one, get one free) special on Instacart) - cool! Photo of entree: no sauce, chopped up over cooked noodles- inedible. I literally threw that money (entree + fees for delivery) in the trash. Big DISAPPOINTMENT- save yourself the money and time and just don't order from this restaurant!! read more

I try to support local businesses and ordered from Siam Grill through Ubereats. I've gotta say, this was the worst Thai food I've had in Portland. The salad rolls were ok. But the Larb had bits of ground bone in it, the pad see ew was soupy and didn't have much flavor and the teriyaki chicken yakisoba was also soggy and didn't have any teriyaki flavor to it. Im not hard to please, especially if the food tastes like it's from the general region (Thai/Japan)...but this one was rough. We ended up throwing away two of the dishes because we just couldn't eat them. Maybe we just didn't order dishes they specialized in? Idk. read more

Amazing food! Nestled in a little shopping center - don't be fooled! Great place for Thai. The first thing to impress us was the cup of hot Thai tea complimentary, that was refilled during our visit. Warms the tummy and soul :-) We had mango curry, peanut noodles, and the Thom kha soup. All were amazing - but that mango curry was exceptional!! Juicy and plentiful chunks of sweet mango in a nicely spiced curry with veggies and protein. I would do that all over for sure! The soup was flavorful and filling with plenty of ingredients. Doing a great job Siam Grill! Thank you! read more

Great little Thai spot! We've been going here for years, mostly to-go, as the inside is a little small, and we live real close by. Very consistent food and they have a larger menu than some other places, and gems like their BBQ chicken with sticky rice is a real treat. And when they say spicy, they mean it, which is great! But, can order no or medium too, obviously. Totally Thai hot, though. Another real stunner is their papaya salad, fresh, sour, sweet and fish sauce heavy, yum! Big portions here too, so another plus, and no lack in flavor or quality. Prices are what I would call fair, I don't think anything, in these times, is over-priced. Apps (except a combo), are under 10$ and mains between 10$ (smaller soup) and 18$ on the high end for seafood or duck. Sometimes, especially on a first order, they will include a little extra gift in your order, two (more as it seems it's per dish ordered, so one per person) nice and hot little spring rolls for free! Very nice touch and appreciated, as it shows that they love their customers and want them to return! read more

My work day allowed for an early lunch, Siam grill was open and surprisingly fast. Placed my order, stepped out to my van for 5-10 min and the host brought my food out to me!! For takeout, service doesn't get better than that. While doing emails for 15-20 min, I smelled that pang nang (Sp) and eventually dug in. Not as "red" or tart as most I've fallen in love with, this curry was delicate and a beautiful creamy texture. I would prefer no nuts on top, but they are easy to pick around....the flavor is appreciated. Not sure what spice is in the root flavor of pang nang, but they highlighted it well here. Beautifully done, will make sure to go out my way for take out for my weekly Thai fix read more

Greeted with a warm cup of tea on the typical dreary Portland day, I popped into this establishment randomly for dinner and ordered tofu pumpkin curry extra spicy. The venue is a bit smaller with about 10 tables but there was a lot of take away business while I was in on a Saturday night. The staff was attentive and I was seated right away. My water and tea were consistently filled and the curry was spicy just how I like it.

I used to love this place, but ambiance and food has changed quite a bit. Service has always been fantastic, I must say this first of all. Unfortunately, thai food in this establishment has been subpar these days. Pad Thai was very dry and un-flavorful, Penang curry was overly sweet and bland, and shrimp salad rolls full of shredded iceberg lettuce with very little else. Lastly, very pricey for such a disappointing meal. Hopefully things will improve in the future, I really want to give this place another chance. read more

This review is about two years late. My husband and I have been ordering takeout from Siam Grill since we first moved to the area and it immediately became our favorite local restaurant. Not only is the food absolutely delicious-- the prices are fair and the people are. We always see the same guy there, I believe he might be the owner, and he's always providing us with the kindest service. We've enjoyed everything we've ordered here (and we've tried a lot of it!), but our favorites are the Khao Soy, Thai BBQ Chicken, Pad See Ew, and Pad Thai. read more

The food was really yummy--better than most Thai food I've had in the past. I can't praise the flavor enough as well as how tender the meat and vegetables were (not chewy or tough at all). However, a few hours after I ate, I had the worst heartburn I've experienced in a long time. Apparently "mild" to them means slightly spicy and my stomach isn't used to spiciness at all. Many of the Thai food restaurants I've tried consider "mild" to be no spice, so if you're like me and are sensitive to spiciness be prepared for a relatively small amount of spice in the mild dishes. read more

I had the pad woon sen noodles with shrimp and Puss Face had Pad Thai with chicken. We shared shrimp spring rolls and egg rolls. They either give you egg rolls (small) with order or we got those by accident. Lastly we had a seafood Tom Yum soup. It was ok; I won't order again. Everything was rich with flavor. The noodles were perfectly cooked. The protein amounts were substantial and everything came as a large portion. It was $55 for two big eaters.

Neither one of us could finish ours. We'll likely order one dish to split next time, and that'd still probably be more than enough. The flavor of the chao mian was a bit lackluster. It was savory with a soy sauce flavor base, but got a bit repetitive with each bite. It was decently spicy and texture was there with the veggies, but I wish there was a way to customize with more spice or vinegar to taste. The bian bian noodles were more flavorful and also spicier. Fun noodle texture. There are also other vendors in the garden so you can pair a dessert, drink, or side with your meal while staying in the same area. Overall, a filling meal for a good price!

So we ordered 3 entrees and side of Dry-fried String beans. The Green Beans were cooked perfectly and the serving size was generous! One of our new favorites is the Mongolian Chicken.

The ten Chicken & Vegetable Dumplings were fresh and flavorful.

As our food started to come, our friend noticed a long black hair in the chicken dumplings. We notified our server and she investigated the dish on our table. This rubbed us all the wrong way because you should believe your customer and take the plate from the table and maybe exam it in the back/kitchen? We didn't like the hair deter us and everything was truly delicious. We had pork soup buns (good, but not very soup-y), pork wontons in chili oil (yum!), chicken potstickers (probably my favorite), spicy chow mein (delicious), the dry fried green beans (so good)! We were stuffed. I ended up telling the server that we wouldn't need the new chicken dumplings and she was very rude and taken back by that. I feel bad to inconvenience them, but none of it would've happened if there wasn't a hair in the food? There were other small, rude things our server did but ultimately, it didn't ruin our night or take away from the delicious food! I would recommend the restaurant with the warning that the service is lackluster.

I had an amazing meal the other night. The Bulgogi DuKuhBee is known for their hand pulled noodles,…read morebut we also got to try a lot of other Korean staples like Bibimbap, Korean fried chicken, bulgogi, japchae, and more. We devoured everything and left no crumbs but the dishes I would likely gravitate back towards are the hand pulled noodles, wings, and actually the Mandoo! The hand pulled noodles were coated nicely with a spicy sauce and had a great chew to them. I loved the thickness of the noodles and added crunch from the cabbage and other veggies. Half sweet and half spicy for the wings was the way to go - each wing was doused in sauce and sesame seeds but still maintained its crunch. As someone that doesn't usually like wings, these were fantastic. Lastly, the Mandoo surprised me! It was the sauce that sealed the deal. It was like a thousand island, poppy seed kind of dressing that worked very well. I couldn't stop eating them. If you're looking for authentic Korean food, this is the place!

I pass various friendly people outside. I managed the door and found my way to the order counter. I am greeted by some friendly workers, a picture of Koko up on the wall, the owner making pulled noodles. I am in for a treat. I order the beef noodles, the person said several times this one... this one. If I wanted bulgogi it was that one that one. I wheel to an open seat. The place a bit cramped. A couple people chatting away eating happily a good sign. Some take out order I see...it is a Monday, after the holidays, the slowest month for some restaurants. The noodles come...tasty... not too chewy. I sense cabbage maybe a couple of times I tasted the grill. But a bit spicy, the order person said it would be I am mostly pleased. What could be better you ask... hmmmmm- I will come back for the experience.. the noodles... I will bring a friend to enjoy.. to show off. Thank you for the place Koko...

Paik’s Noodle

I honestly crave the tangseyuk here often *writing this at 4am due to cravings *…read more A popular chain in Korea, they have a various ways you can enjoy jjangmyung or its spicy seafood counter part. They also serve rice dishes. As a blackbean noodle addict I can attest this is the best place hands down. They use potato starch in their batter for their pork which makes it so deliciously crispy but with that mochi type of bite. The jjang sauce is thick and doesn't disintegrate so you're able to dip the pork in it. Service is good and they give you free pickled radish! You can also ask for cut onion in vinegar if you're a die hard~

I ordered takeout from Paik's Noodle since it was conveniently located near my accommodation. I…read moretried their most popular dish, Jajangmyeon, along with sweet and sour pork (the second most popular item) and spicy chicken. The spicy chicken was actually quite good and flavorful. However, the dish I was most excited about, the Jajangmyeon, was disappointing -- the flavor was very mild and lacked depth. Unfortunately, the sweet and sour pork was not good at all. While it was battered and fried, most pieces were almost entirely batter with very little actual pork inside, which was quite disappointing. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly, and I really liked the clean and pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant. However, because the food did not meet my expectations overall, I'm giving this place

Mama Chow's Kitchen

Let me start by saying that on my previous trip to Portland I tried Mama Chow's and my memory of…read morethis location has stuck with me since then. I knew that the next time I came to visit Portland I was going to have Mama Chow's again. It's been almost six years since I tried Mama Chow's for the first time and there's always that anxiety of wondering if the food is as good as the memory was since so much time has passed. I can confirm that the food was just as good as the last time I had it. I arrived a little after 12pm and Jeff Chow helped us. He was so nice about explaining the items on the menu to my partner, saying happy new year to us, and making us feel welcoming because we were his first customers of the day. I ordered the chicken wings with garlic noodles and it didn't disappoint. So much flavor in the garlic noodles and the sauce that comes with it. The fried chicken was amazing as well with the right amount of flavor and crunch on the outside and tenderness on the inside. My hope is that I don't have to wait another six years to come back to Portland, but when I do I'll be visiting Mama Chow's Kitchen again.
